    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    I have been spending some time the past few weeks doing optical evaluations of laser rangefinders. I mentioned in my earlier impressions that I thought the Vectronix Vector X was quite good optically. My further testing has certainly born this out. I actually found them to edge out the excellent...

    2024 BigJimFish Review / Article blog: PurePrecision, Precision Straight-Walled Cartridge Rifle, Proof, XTPS trigger, Levels

    Update 7-27-2024 The last couple weeks have been pretty busy. I loaded up and tested 8 different bullet / powder combinations including both the most often recommended powder for 350L, H110, and CFEBLK which, is on the far slow burning edge of powders for which load data exists for the 350L...

    Update 7-18-2024 No update on the Calypso software yet but I have been playing with the Vector X some more both at the range and in the backyard and have a few observations. First off, I took it to the range and used it as a spotter in conjunction with the screw on range extenders. In this...

    I do. I texted Nick from AB about it and for the two to work together I need to push a firmware update to both the binos and the calypso. I should be getting the beta software to accomplish this this week. I was also not yet about to find a pairing ability with the Calypso on the 10k's and I...

    After you asked this question, I brought out all three binos to take a look again. Of course, the weather is a little different today than it was yesterday. Yesterday it was 100% sun and bright as hell and I noticed the blue tint in the Vector X's more than that of the G2 10k's though still far...

    Update 7-3-2024 I have finally managed to coral the chaos around the house long enough to get some first impressions on the Vectronix Vector X binos. Boy, this is some media kit they sent. It reminds me of some of the stuff I have seen on tech review videos for big phone or PC product launches...

    Yes, but barely. With the range enhancers on you can't add flip caps though it will fit the slip over caps that come on the range enhancers to protect them during shipping.

    New RF bino from Vectronix!!! Vector X

    The Vector X's arrived today. I was hoping to get a look at them but then the AC sprung a leak and derailed my plans. Now it is 4 am and I just finished cleaning up the worst of that mess. Hopefully, I will get to take a look at them tomorrow and see what is in all those little individual black...

    Update 6-5-2024 Well, that was quick. The Sig KILO10K-ABS HD Gen II binos arrived yesterday. I didn’t have a lot of time today to do any rigorous testing but I can say that the blue tint present in the first generation units is absolutely gone from these. I’m interested to see how that effects...

    Update 4-18-2024 Guess what’s here…. It’s the PurePrecison SKLTN in 350 Legend. I spent some time this evening fitting the XTSP trigger into it. Tomorrow I’ll break out the bore scope and take a look down the tube as well as try to get some nicer photos with some natural light. Sure looks good...

    It's not in my initial lineup of ammo and bullets to take a look at but I may add it at some point. I may also take a look at the cutting edge 350 bullets later as well.

This is for...

    Update 3-21-2024 The Hawkins hunter bottom metal came for the 350L build. As I expected the machining is excellent and it looks great with their flush fit magazine. It’s off to the PurePrecison guys for the final assembly and testing now. Shouldn’t be long. Hawkins AICS/ M5 Hunter DBM and...
